Default True lovers knot block - how big to make the pieces??

I'm making this quilt for my friends' wedding:

Here's the block (though I'm removing the outer ring since I'll just do sashing for my specific pattern variation, so it'll be the center square + 4 rings, not 5) :

How wide should the strips be??? In the pictures when you search "True Lovers Knot", they look 1" finished, but I can't tell. But in the first picture, it seems like they could be 1.5" finished. Any thoughts/experience on what would look good? I'd rather work with bigger pieces, but I want it to look right.
